Our actual knowledge on growth and development should give us more professional insight. Mandibular response is a parameter that should be seriously considered in our treatment strategy, in orthopedics, orthodontics and surgery. The clinical evaluation of the occlusion and long-term facial results is a complex and multi-factorial approach. Some factors are quantifiable and numerous authors have seriously studied them with conviction and have often come up with contradictory results. But, it is important to realize that a large number of these determining factors are quality factors that we can put under the heading of the clinician's intuition. It is thus more important to trust your instincts than to abide to school concepts or a new “magic bracket” that are all more or less false. The maxillo-mandibular block should be considered 3 dimensionally in our analyses. The actions and interaction caused by mecanics should also be controlled 3 dimensionally. The future of our strategies should evolve around global awareness and go beyond all sectarianism.
